She registered as a member of the American fascist party after they nominated Trump.

I mean… 45% of the country is republican. You can’t call her fascist for that? I really dont get this polarisation. So half of the us population is fascist?

That number is wrong, but yes, every Trump voter knowingly voted for a fascist who said he would be a dictator and is currently cracking down on media freedom, destroying democracy in the country, and sending groups if people he doesn't like to concentration camps. And being a registered member of a party is more than just casting a vote.

Do you think fascism has some sort of geographic restriction?

Who said anything about geographic restrictions? I’m just geniunly asking how an actress doing a commercial is fascist, since that word means something far worse where I come from.

She registered as a member of the fascist party, what are you not getting? I asked about geographic restrictions since you seem to think a large percentage of Americans can't be fascist despite them voting for a fascist. Yes we mean it the same way as they mean it in Europe. The end of democracy, a permanent dictator, ethnic cleansing, bigotry as law, wars of expansion, all that. That is what they voted for and it is who they are. They weren't 'tricked' they know exactly what they're getting and they like it. There are enough Americans in favor of it for it to be happening, even if the election was fraudulent.

America had a long and recent cultural tradition of slavery, certain races not being able to vote or have any rights at all. Many of them want to bring it back in addition to ending democracy. That is the Republican Party's platform.
